With For All The Dogs on track to become his sixth UK Number 1 record, Drake is set to dominate the Official Albums Chart this week.
Aubrey Graham’s delayed eighth solo studio album will debut atop this Friday’s chart, marking his second consecutive No. 1 album in less than a year after 2022’s Her Loss with 21 Savage.
Drake has previously been at the top of the UK Official Albums Chart with Views in 2016, Scorpion in 2018, Dark Lane Demo Tapes in 2020 and Certified Lover Boy in 2021.
On track for a debut at No. 2 is Nine with Crop Circle 3, which could become his second consecutive Top 10 album of the year, following Crop Circle 2, which peaked at No. 2 in May.
Roger Waters’ The Dark Side of the Moon Redux is poised for a number 3 debut. The special reissue celebrates the legacy of Pink Floyd’s magnum opus Dark Side Of The Moon, which peaked at number two in 1973 before becoming one of the UK’s best-selling albums of all time.
American indie singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens is aiming for the highest-charting album of his career in the UK with Javelin, which peaks at number 4 in mid-week. He previously reached the top 10 in 2015 with Carrie & Lowell. That album peaked at number 6.
Joel Corry’s debut album Another Friday Night (6) is set to enter the Top 10 for the first time following its official release. The album was previously available to stream as an EP of previous singles, including the number one hit Head & Heart.
Elsewhere in the Top 10, The Darkness celebrate the 20th anniversary of their chart-topping 2003 debut, Permission To Land, which is on course to land at number 7 this week.
Further down the chart, Oxfordshire indie trio Stornoway could score their third top 20 album in the UK, with their comeback LP Dig The Mountain! expected to debut at number 14.
